Far more than book reviews, it is literary prizes that shape the afterlives of titles. Regardless of who is nominated or who wins, literary awards recognise the fact that books are a culturally important part of our lives. In 1955, the  Library Association named the Kate Greenaway Medal after the beloved artist Kate Greenaway (1846- 1901) who produced fine art illustrations and books for children that have been praised by many art critics for her depictions of children in countryside settings. For nearly seven decades, the award signified quality illustrated books for those which were long listed for the Greenaway prize. In 2022, CILIP (formerly the Library Association) quietly removed her name. Hundreds of artists and illustrators protested this decision, and hundreds more authors, historians, librarians, parents, and teachers denounced the decision to replace her name on the prestigious award with a controversial industrialist. How did Kate Greenway’s art reach and move generations of children? How do named literary prizes influence book sales and the publishing trade? Why does it seem that historical women are erased more often than men? This talk by historian and librarian, Dr Rose Roberto, will answer these questions. Biography For the past four years, Dr Rose Roberto served as a part-time history lecturer and librarian at a university in Lincoln, recently becoming the Digital and Library Lead for North Notts College in Nottinghamshire. She received her masters in library science at the University of California, Los Angeles, and PhD in history of the book from the University of Reading. Her current research examines the intersection of visual culture with hidden histories related to gender, race and class embedded in the transnational book trade. She co-edited Women in Print: Design and Identities (2022). She is a contributor to Circulation and Control: Artistic Culture and Intellectual Property in the Nineteenth Century(2021) and the award-winning Edinburgh History of the British and Irish Press, Vol. 2 (2020). She was also the series editor for the Art Researchers’ Guide to Manchester (2014), co-edited by former Portico Librarian, Emma Marigliano.

Portico Library The porch library is a bit mysterious because it is a private member library. The most attractive thing should be the beautiful dome on the exhibition roof, which is its most distinctive place. Some more specific information can be viewed on the official website.

Went to Happy seasons restaurant and TSUJIRI in Manchester Chinatown with my mates after exams. Authentic Chinese cuisine with reasonable prices. The matcha sundae was also delicious. There are also many nice Asian restaurants around the area.

Best place to drink cheap, but tasty drinks and be entertained by drag queens. Good music and usually quiet, peaceful company.
